Just to let everyone know what the Chicago Tribune is reporting: The mayor
was unmoved and places the blame for the recent landings at the now defunct
Meigs squarely on the pilots' shoulders. The Tribune quotes the mayor as
saying something on the order of Oshkosh is up there to the north several
hours. If the pilot was going to Oshkosh, he is going in the wrong
direction.
The article isn't very long. If you want more or the exact quote, visit the
Chicago Tribune site.
Not surprising, the mayor continues to be an embarrassment. I for one have
voted with my feet and my pocketbook. My interaction with that city 50
miles to the east is limited to visiting my older son. I know it's not
much, but it's a personal statement.
